5 Pythagoras ( BC) Right triangle: (a 2 + b 2 = c 2 ) Student of Thales Studied many years in Egypt and Babylon Not write books so control who gets knowledge Started a Brotherhood (Pythagoreans) that did not encourage writing of books or sharing knowledge with non-initiated Hippocrates ( BC) Father of Medicine People sick because of physical disorder -not because of divine reason Thus look for cure Used Beer to relax person Visited Egypt & studied Imhotep ( BC, priest and medical doctor Socrates ( BC) Followed Pythagorean thinking Also didn t write books Thinking based on abstract thought and mathematics Use mind to obtain new knowledge - not observation Not teach truth, but allow others to find their own truth Plato ( BC) Real world is an illusion Not trust physical senses God created perfection - no evolution Wrote books - Parchment Started Academy - Over gate let no one unversed in geometry enter here platonic love - illusionary - not real Aristotle ( BC) Put things in logical order - methodical approach to explain unknowable Use nature to explain universe (natural philosophy) Philosophy and Theology the same Use of logic and proofs Beginning of Scientific Method Archimedes ( BC) Studied in Alexandria When gold crown put in water, water rose equivalent to volume of crown - Eureka Archimedes Principle: Object weighs less equal to weight of fluid displaced Worked with levers - said give me a place to stand on and I can move the world 5

6 Eratosthenes ( BC) Lived in Alexandria Knew Earth was round Measured Diameter of Earth Difference in shadows - one farther North At time of Columbus, scientists knew earth was round and how big it was. Columbus thought it was smaller so that he could put enough food etc. on ship to reach Asia Roman Empire Little interest in Natural Philosophy They wrote simplified, watered down translations of Greek Natural Philosophy for casual reading by upper classes Romans added little to Natural Philosophy though technology was important to them (aqueducts, irrigation, roads, architecture) Early Christian e.g. St. Augustine ( ) Natural Philosophy is servant of religion Natural Philosophy must not contradict what is known (e.g. religion) Literal translation of Bible [but not as literal as some today as he said creation did not take 6 literal days, because what is a day before the movement of the sun defined a day. (Sun was created on the 4 th day.)] Early Muslim Use knowledge where ever they could find it Thus translate from Greek, Hindu, Persian, Egyptian etc. to build libraries Main library near Baghdad (later destroyed) Copies from main library in Spain (thus most knowledge of Greeks etc. came through Spain) Learned paper manufacture from Chinese prisoners of war in 751 AD, centuries before Europeans Needed geometry to locate direction of Mecca from anywhere between Spain and India Mathematics, Astronomy Later during Dark Ages Consolidation of Roman Empire and spread of Christianity made faith more important than Greek Philosophy Greek thinking considered Pagan Details of Greek Philosophy unknown since they had only watered down Latin translations before spread of Arabic translations Science seen as a threat to Religion Thomas Aquinas (1225?-1274) First Churchman to openly discuss and write about Aristotle and other philosophers Philosophy not a threat to Religion Separate Theology, Science and Philosophy Study Theology from standpoint of nature Good to seek knowledge for sake of knowledge Natural Law - basis for living & non-living Explained things independent of God God set in motion but didn t normally intervene Tried to prove existence of God - circular argument 6

7 Universities (around 1200 s) Before this, learning took place in monasteries If not theologically based, there was no reason to study it Thus new fields of inquiry open in secular universities Johannes Gutenberg (c ) Invented the printing press Printed the Bible and works of Aquinas so that many people could make their own interpretations and the church no longer controlled the spread of knowledge Previously the church decided what monks would copy by hand Mistakes occurred during copying - no 2 copies of manuscripts identical The Church (around 1500) Church lost political control - this was desired by aristocracy who encouraged new ideas Religion became more nationalized Peoples lives further separated from church Church wanted to remain in control so it became repressive This drove some people farther from the church Leonardo da Vinci ( ) Hands on analysis - did autopsies in secret since they were illegal Separate theology from science Well versed in theology, but thought God was irrelevant Secularization of education Got into trouble with the Church The uneducated could understand paintings & drawings so his ideas became more accessible to the masses Michelangelo Buonarroti ( ) Sculptor, painter, architect Like Leonardo da Vinci, he also got into trouble with the church and had to defend his work and thought He furthered accessibility of ideas to the masses Nicholas Copernicus ( ) Proposed heliocentric (sun centered) model of the universe (rather than earth centered like Aristotle had proposed) This went against teachings of the church since the church thought Earth was most important (man was on it) so it had to be in the center He lived far from Rome so church ignored him 7

8 Galileo Galilei ( ) Used telescope to see spots on sun and mountains on moon so they were not perfect - Showed Jupiter had 4 moons so it was also center of rotation - This supported Copernicus Stood up to church - said scientific research & Christian faith not mutually exclusive & science would help promote understanding & interpretation of scriptures and the intention of the Holy Ghost is to teach us how one goes to heaven, not how heaven goes He was eventually excommunicated Francis Bacon ( ) Studied the body Independent of Church Proponent of Induction - Use observations to form conclusions - not need a hypothesis (as in deduction) which could be in error Problem is that observations may not lead to conclusions By 1700 s: formulate hypothesis and test it Disprove a null hypothesis Isaac Newton ( ) Highly religious but no mention of theology in scientific works Complete separation from church No reason to justify anything to church Faith is separate from science Rules of Universe dictate orderly progression of events Universities were becoming more secular Charles Darwin ( ) Formulated theory of evolution Wrote Origin of Species Catholic Church had no problem with evolution as consistent with religion Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk, a contemporary of Darwin, is the father of Genetics (published work in 1860) Biblical Literalists however had a problem with both They wanted to go back to pre-galileo Albert Einstein ( ) He thought science, philosophy & theology were different aspects of truth One need not justify the other They do not conflict By his death, he thought God was a centralizing force - the atomic bomb was against the ideas of the Creator Carl Sagan ( ) Astronomer and Author Couldn t believe in God without proof Faith a nonentity At death, he thought no afterlife, so he would never learn if there are extraterrestrials 8
